Over the years, I have dedicated myself to understanding how the brain interprets the world, particularly its perceptions. These perceptions can sometimes be inaccurate or biased, shaped by ambiguous information and resulting in significant internal conflict. Yet, the brain handles these challenges remarkably well, as illustrated in the image above—capturing the characters' emotions through their body language and facial expressions. To explore and unravel these biases, I am deeply passionate about using noninvasive brain imaging methods, including EEG and fMRI.
